oil pump idler

[wayne billings]

Hello all I just removed the oil pump from my 1200, and i checked the backlash of the idler gear and it seamed to be a lot. I marked the place of a gear tooth and then rotated it as far as it would go and it moved 1 whole tooth! does any one know if this is excessive? Thanks for any help . Wayne
